Search results sort criteria

When end-users sort by relevance, Fluid Topics applies each of the following default sort criteria in the order listed to determine which results to display first:

  • The most relevant documents appear first (based on the values for the Words, FieldMatch, Pathlen and Weight attributes).

  • Documents appear before articles.

  • Articles appear before topics.

  • Titles are sorted in ascending alphabetical order.

  • More recent content appears before older content.

In the Relevance sort section of the Search page administration interface, ADMIN and PORTAL_ADMIN users can override the default template in order to determine relevance based on a set of custom sort criteria.
